Most likely the evaporator core is leaking freon (which has a lubricant incorporated into it to lubricate the compressor).
You will probably have to replace it, they are located inside the dash and you will, generally, have to remove a good portion of the dash to get to it.
Take the car to an AC expert and shop around for estimates.
